AMX Tracteur D (French, Tier-8, HT, premium)
Historical Reference:
After the end of World War I, the French command considered the concept of a heavy tank designed to reinforce the Maginot Line. In May 1936, the design task was assigned to the AMX, ARL and FCM firms. AMX developed a project for a super-heavy breakthrough tank, the Tracteur C, based on the experience of combat in World War I. The Tracteur D project was a further development of the Tracteur C project. The new tank included shell-proof armor, an auxiliary turret at the rear (like the AMX Tracteur C), and a new main turret. Since there were problems with the ASTER engines, the project was reworked for the Hispano-Suiza aircraft engine. By the time the AMX Tracteur D project appeared in 1940, the French no longer had time for breakthrough tanks, so the project remained only as a sketch.
Beautiful train !
this is one of the very very special tank designs, similar in scale to the japanese o-i. A tog on tier 8. i would love to get this in WoT too… although, maybe they should implement that second turret mechanic first 😀
